Why?
A simple criminal has a motive to profit by. Correct? Financially.
A terrorist wishes to inflict damage physically as humanely possible by their actions.
It's a no brainer. Well to sane individuals.
Perhaps you don't understand the question. Why does it make a difference. If a man kills a child because he likes it or he kills a child to make a political point, is the child less dead? Did the child suffer less? What difference does motive make?
Nobody suggested it made anyu difference to the victims, Prat.
The question was "What's The Difference Between Terrorism & Crime?"
The answer to THAT question is MOTIVE.
Now seriously, does that really confuse you?
Really?
